Sharing

Content is the most valuable property that any media company owns. Sharing this content over the internet by using potentially untrustworthy 3rd party tools is a disaster waiting to happen. Instead of having to send files to anyone, the share function of the Media Library allows you to send a direct access link to the selected footage. The recipient will only be able to use the functions that you’ve specifically enabled when creating the link. This means, you can, for example, restrict deletion or downloads but still allow the adding of comments or the uploading of new footage. If maintaining copyright is your primary concern, you can add watermarks to your videos or enable two-factor authentication log-in.

Absolutely – you can send time-sensitive links and allow the recipient to use the rating function as well as adding frame-accurate comments – or tie in the Automation engine to automatically run actions when the asset is approved.

Thanks to its versatility and unique features, the sharing function can easily be integrated into a number of different workflows. Beside the approval workflows with optimal collaborative features, the share function can also be used to allow external users to edit rough-cuts created in the Media Library. You can even use it for remote ingesting by allowing the recipient to upload content over the internet directly onto your ELEMENTS storage.

Yes – every shared link can be set to expire after a certain date and can be protected with a password. Additionally, the amount of times that the link can be used can also be limited. When creating a new link, you define what actions the recipient would be able to perform and what parts of the UI they will be able to see.
